Advancing technoloGy for fraIlty and LongEvity

AGILE Consortium

Our Goal

Develop objective and clinically feasible methods to diagnose, prevent, and treat frailty to improve patient longevity

Our Mission

Create a novel predictive model for frailty to improve patient care

Background

Frailty affects about 15% of people over 65 and 25-50% of those over 80. Frail patients are at greater risk for complications, longer length of stay, high-cost care, and mortality. Frail patients are at greater risk for post-operative complications, longer length of stay when hospitalized, high-cost care, and mortality.
